#TradingPairs101 đ What Are Trading Pairs in Crypto?
#TradingPairs101 A trading pair shows which two assets youâre trading betweenâlike BTC/USDT. The first asset (BTC) is what youâre buying or selling, and the second (USDT) is what youâre using to trade.
đš Example:
If BTC/USDT = 70,000, you need 70,000 USDT to buy 1 BTC.
There are two main types:
â Crypto-to-Stable (e.g., ETH/USDT): Great for measuring value in dollars.
â Crypto-to-Crypto (e.g., ETH/BTC): Useful for switching between coins without cashing out.
Why it matters:
âď¸ Choosing the right pair affects fees, liquidity, and execution.
âď¸ Some altcoins are only available through specific base pairs (like BTC or BNB).
đĄ Tip: Stick to high-volume pairs for smoother trades and better pricing.
